The following supersedes any and all prior statements I have made, regarding permissions to use my content. NOTE, this statement does not constitute permission to use anyone else’s content. This is only about MY content.
I am inspired by Caitlin Johnstone, The Grateful Dead, and others who have happily and generously shared their creative and cognitive abundance. But I recognize that this level of sharing is not an option for everyone.
When I say content, I refer to all of my writing, as well as my artwork (drawings, paintings, photos etc.).
You are free to share my work electronically, or in print form. This means you can print out my stuff, be it writing or art. Not only for your own use, but you are also welcome to sell it. Please just include the attribution of using my name, jenny nazak.
You are also welcome to take my art and other content and alter it. In this case, please just make it clear that you are putting out your own, altered version of an image or written content made by me, jenny nazak. And you are welcome to sell this altered product.
There’s no obligation to compensate me financially for any of the above. However if you wish, you are welcome to buy me lunch, or a cup of coffee, or a downtown commercial building for my community, or whatever. My cash app is in the contact info.
If somehow you end up making a squillion kabillion dollars on my content, well, congratulations! That’s a lot more than I’ve been able to do. While it’s beyond my control how you would use that money, I trust you to use it in ethical ways. Don’t be buying up houses and hoarding them. Don’t be gentrifying places. Don’t be oppressing your business partners or employees. Don’t be doing a jet-set cruise lifestyle. Use the money to finance your activist and creative endeavors, with the intent to create a compassionate and abundant world for all humans and all other species.
I wish you a happy end of the old year and start of the new!
